2. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-arteritic_anterior...

   The exact mechanism of optic nerve ischemia in these cases remains unclear, but contributing factors may include hypotension, anemia, hypoxia, and changes in the autoregulation of optic nerve arterial blood flow. The incidence of ischemic optic neuropathy leading to vision loss following general surgeries ranges between 0.1% and 0.002%.

3. Stem cell therapy for macular degeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_therapy_for...

   This therapy involves the transplantation of stem cells into the retina to replace damaged or lost retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells, which are critical for central vision. Clinical trials have shown promise in stabilizing or improving visual function, but are nevertheless inefficient. [2]

4. Retinal regeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_regeneration

   Light (from the left) passes through several transparent nerve layers to reach the rods and cones (far right). A chemical change in the rods and cones send a signal back to the nerves. The signal goes first to the bipolar and horizontal cells (yellow layer), then to the amacrine cells and ganglion cells (purple layer), then to the optic nerve ...

   MD Stem Cells, a clinical research company using autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) in the treatment of retinal and optic nerve disease, published results from the Retinitis Pigmentosa cohort within their ongoing NIH registered Stem Cell Ophthalmology Study II (SCOTS2) clinical trial (NCT 03011541).

7. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Stem-cell therapy uses stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. [1] As of 2024, the only FDA-approved therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [2] [3] This usually takes the form of a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, but the cells can also be derived from umbilical cord blood.
